CHAUTAUQUA DAY AT ACTON
Celebration of the Occasion by Novel
and Very Pleasing Exercises.
Rev. Ira J. Chase's Address at Bethany on
1.-The History and Work of the Disciples of
Christ"-Other Camp Meeting Services.

Yesterday was Chautauqua day at Acton
/ Park. The cottages upon the grounds-"tents,"
as most of the cottagers insist upon calm. them
were embowered in green branches cut from
| the neigh boring woods, and Assembly Hall was
likewise garlanded in green, while the stage was
dec1rated with flowers and plants. At 10 o'clock
in the forenoon Wallace Bruce lectured on
Ready Wit" presenting the wit of different
civilized nations and drawing fine discrmina-
ton between wit and humor. giving illustrations
from various wits and humorists. Following
the lecture. Miss Coffin, OF Westfeld, gave
recitation entitled, Reading Out the Appoint
ments"
At o'clock p. M. the Chautauquans formed in
procession, and marching through the principal
avenues stopped at Assembly Hail. Here they
entered through the Golden Gate. as the arched
gates are called young girls strewing the path
OF the graduates with flowers as they entered
Assembly Hall. Here there were exercises OF
song and responsive readings, followed by an ad-
dress by Rev. Mr.. Austin. of New Albany, on
"The Chautauquan Idea." giving the purposes
and objects of the organization. Capt John F.
McKee, of Brookville, made address to the
graduates of the class of 1887, twenry-four in
number. and presented them their diplomas
There was then Round Table or business
meeting. which resulted IN the election OF the
following officers for the ensuing year:

boro.

Executive Commttee-J +. McKee, Brookville
Miss Ida NJ. Andrus, Indianapolis; Mrs. DR.. Catch
Iawrenceburg; Miss Helen Deakins, Martinsville;
Miss L. B. Adams, Shelbyville.
At 4 o'clock the grounds were visited by
shower, brief but welcome. Although it did not
continue more than twenty minutes it made the
park look like new and gave to every one fresh
interests in the events of the day. Had it no:
been for the shower the annual Chautauqua bon
fire could not have been lighted. everything
was SO dry that q general confagration would
have followed. AS it the ceremony of light
ing the bonfire took place last night at the
conclusion of a song service at Assembly Hail.
and was a very enjoyable event.
The forenoon to-day will be devoted to the
Woman's Home Missionary Society. There will be
addresses by Mrs. Rust. of Cincinnati, and Mrs.
w. Burr, of Indianapolis. Miss Cheatham, OF
Franklin, will give cornet solo. At p. NJ

For the SOUTHERN LADIES IoURNAL:
THE LITTLE CHRIST CHILD.

Our daughter Bettne has chosen her life
AS she sowed so must she reap;
'T's idle to weep for the dead, dear wife;
SO let us our Christmas keep.
Come help me to set up the tree, sweetheart,
So-steady -we'll stand it here,
And there put the cradle, bit apart
Now rum little Elschen, dear,
Go fetch me trail of the ivy wild
Off the old oak by the sea,
To Irvine round the bed of the Holy Child,
Not far from the Christmas tree
The green tree is lighted and CLEANS with gifts,
The childrens' shouts fill the air,
For To- when sweet Elschen the clothuplifts,
A living Christ child is there.
The fisherman rises his face as white
A, foam on the storm tossed seal
Who dares thus to triheon Christmas night?
And whose can this young child be ?"
So stern is the accent that Elschen stands
Bewidered and cold with fear
"Twas l" the girl falters from Bettines hands
took it and brought it here
On this night when our dear Lord descending
Did rescue all souls from sim
For His sake let this babe unoffending
His mothers forgiveness win"
Then softly from Heaven the Christ Child smiled
Downinto the hearts below,
Fill the strong man bent him and kissed the child
For the good God willed it so.
